Space Marine demo announced

Relic has announced on the official site that there will be a Space Marine demo available on August the 23d.
Although the Warhammer 40k games have always had a decent potential and quality, the series from Relic always played more like a hybrid that's not really sure of what it is. RTS, RPG, action?  As a result of that the last game in the series felt like it still needed some fine-tuning. Adding on top of that some of the RPG elements were still quite poor. You can't come up with a story that is as your average B Hollywood film and expect it to be engaging, m'kay?

Still as a strategy game the Dawn of War series has really shined through, and its foregoing of a base in its gameplay is both refreshing and fitting. It also helps that the franchise has a deep and rich lore, not to mention crazy Orks like this fellow here:











The latest news and trailers also showcase a much more seamless game with a fluid combination of ranged and melee damage. And us gamers like nothing more than ripping through opponents with bolt guns and chainswords. Mmm-hmm...
Not to mention, you'll get the chance to fight off a frigging Ork Horde in the demo.

You can see more about the game in the following video here, and let me know what you think!
